I Know You

Brooke E. Wayne: A Rom-Com Writer’s Ramblings

Ironically, I lectured on the Hero’s Journey Archetype today. It’s a splendid thing how life imitates literature all too seamlessly sometimes, twisting the whole ‘way things are supposed to be’ around for you and me right now. But, I finally managed to set out on a quest recently, and, if you’re reading this, you may have just inadvertently joined the assorted cast of characters who help me along the way.

I promise to push through all of the tests and challenges I must face on my quest keeping you in mind. I am the giver of sticky sweet romance, dribbling with the intent to pass along a smile, and you’re the reader, awaiting a good book. I am the creator of all of those sentimental hearts and flowers peppering the pages of a romantic comedy novel that you can’t wait to dive into someday, like some treasured boon I’m going to hand over to you, empowering you with laughter as you read.

I know you. You’re my helper inspiring me to keep moving forward as I clamor towards publication. You’re that kind soul looking out for me as you watch my journey unfold. I keep cracking open my heart and pouring out the contents all over this bloggish talisman, and you keep reading each page thoughtfully, cheering me on. You secretly hope that I succeed because you crave a light-hearted love story, and, some time in the future, I’m going to give you that escape because today we danced in perfect synchronicity.
